Fast, who launched her own wine label Rebel Pi at The Wine & Spirits Show last year, will speak on ‘The Parallels of being on The Apprentice and launching a drinks brand” at the IBWSS London show in March.

The session will cover 5 things to bear in mind when you attend a trade show, and how they’ve helped the Apprentice contestant launch her own business in the drinks sector.

Fast’s key points are:

1. Run before you can walk
2. Move faster than your competitors
3. Bring something to the people that they don’t know they want
4. Overcome people challenges
5. The proof is in the pudding
